Re-wire our thinking - not Ontario

Once again another news story out of central Canada tells us what our government is planning with the Lower Churchill development.
Remember - we are not supposed to have decisions made until the Energy Plan is completed and released - yet our most valuable energy asset (the Lower Churchill) appears already bartered everywhere we turn.

The quote below comes from a story in the Toronto Star today.

"There's also the potential, talked about for decades, of an east-west grid tapping clean hydroelectric power in Manitoba and Labrador. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro wants to develop a 2,800-megawatt project at Lower Churchill Falls by 2015 and sell much of that power through Quebec and into Ontario. The McGuinty government is watching cautiously and open to discussion."

Since when did we decide that we want to sell most of the power to Ontario - through Quebec?
Come on Premier - tell us what's really on your mind - at least before you tell the people of Ontario.
